Church in the live and teaching of theologian Stanislaw Piotrowski

Summary/Abstract: The topic of interest of this article is the Church in the life and teaching of theologian Stanislaw Piotrowski along with its reflection and history of this community in his life. What is even more noteworthy is the fact that the professor in the Archdiocesan Higher Seminary in Bialystok did not become famous for the number of written scientific texts, but rather than for an extraordinary ability to discover God and strong keeping the faith despite adversities. The goal of life of ‘seeker theologian’ was the implementation of following magisterium of the Church as well as love for community of the Church in students’ hearts and minds. The consequence of longstanding analysis of documents, instructions and didactic work resulted in publishing his two books: Built on the Rock and One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic. The main aim that motivated this article was also prov iding answers to sources of ecclesiology according to Fr. Piotrowski. Research of his scientific output developed in four points requires a short assessment of what he wrote. By making such an attempt, it was necessary to remind the most important facts of priest’s life - time spent in family house, vocation to priestly service and undertaken academic work. Conclusions resulting from literature output led to a number of conclusions: Stanislaw Piotrowski’s ecclesiology complies with tradition of the Church, follows from conciliar teaching and has got deep roots in the Bible. Although Piotrowski does not insert any novelty to its content, he faithfully conveys teaching of the Church and accordingly does it in an original way in the benefit of reaching a potential recipient.
